A few weeks later as you can see: pansies, what a paintbox! Neighbour Yvonne called them my Resurrection Flowers.

A touch of blue with the washing line. Keeping it real.

I call this photo "goats of many colours"!  Taken a couple of days ago in Crete.

My choice for the "Colours" exhibition is trees.  Mostly in Scotland, at different times of the year, with two exceptions.  One from the Majorelle Gardens in Marrakesh and one from the isle of La Palma.  I don't know what the tree is called but it was stunning.

It's a few days short of a year ago that I set off for India - a colourful journey that was going to rearrange my perspectives. Ultimately it was making contact with people that was most rewarding....

...last week, in The Gloucester Oasis (my five year old garden), the India effect was at work. Look closely, it was saying, at the things you take for granted.

 The flowers are from Dad's garden, some bold, some delicate. The marine life is from London Aquarium, which I visited with a friend just last week. Don't ask me what's what. I have no clue!

Mother Nature colours and a bit of fun.
